James Taylor — Sit Down You’re Rockin’ The Boat

I dreamed last night, I got on the boat to heaven And by some chance, I had brought my dice along And there I stood, and I hollered "Somebody fade me!" But the passengers all knew right from wrong For the people all said sit down Sit down, you're rockin' the boat The people all said sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat And the devil will drag you under By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat I sailed away, on that little boat to heaven And by some chance, found a bottle in my fist And there I stood, nicely passin' out the whisky But the passengers were bound to resist For the people all said "Beware You’re on a heavenly trip." The people all said "Beware Beware, you'll scuttle the ship!" And the devil will drag you under By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down, you're rockin' the boat And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven A great big wave came and knocked me overboard! And as I sank, and I hollered "Someone save me!" That's the moment I woke up Thank the Lord! And I said to myself, sit down Sit down, you're rockin' the boat I said to myself sit down Sit down, sit down you're rockin' this boat And the devil will drag you under With a soul so heavy you'd never float Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down, stop rockin' the boat
